--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod will produce a more tropical lighting and weather atmosphere for all EA and Custom worlds.

The weather here in Hawaii tends to have more fog and mist in the air (especially on the countryside), and I wanted to mimic that in a world I've been creating. In-game, any mountains or lakes off in the distance will be shrouded in a nice fog that adds depth and realism to the scene. In addition to a foggier atmosphere, the mod also changes the light source from white to a flame/yellow hue which makes the sun appear brighter over the land. The cloud and sky colors have also been enhanced to show greater contrast and brightness, and a greater mixture of colors in the sky at noon and mid-time.
